Your string may be a tad too big reserve your string for a looser fit also do not superglue in your nocks use the plastic bag trick or a little teflon tape ,, then if you ruien a nock you can remove it without  damage to shaft..   :thumbsup:    :archer:

The reason the TCX nocks were coming off is because they were too tight on the string.  However, I did notice that after some repeated inserting and removing of the nock, it became loose in the shaft as well.  I don't see myself going back to the TCX.  I am happy with the Easton for now.  I am going to try the Bohning Signature though and see how they work.

Serve your string to fit the nocks or change nocks to get some that fit your string.Tight nocks can lead to broken nocks and dryfires. Having spares is always a good idea any way you do it.

Like said above, I use a plastic bag to
cover the end of the arrow then shove
the noc in.
My FMJ's get loose after a twist them a few times.
I have also taken a knife to burr it up
a bit.  Particularly when I use the lighted noc,s
because the plastic bag could prevent the
 electrical contact to occur.

I've never had a problem with the Heritage nocks out of shooting 3 doz. thus far. But I did get some glue-in nock adaptors so I glue Classic or Snap-on nocks on them. That way I can shoot carbons and woodies with the same string diameter.

Aluminum foil for lighted nocks?
